Cindy, it looks adorable and I want to see more! It just shows up as about
1" square on my screen - is there anything I can do to make it bigger?

I was going to ask the same thing. This one inch photo is just a
teaser! ;-)

Criminy. What the heck?
I have no idea, but I'll see what I can do.
I am hating Webshots more every day.

Try this. And if I have given you all free reign to delve into my webshots
albums, rearrange them however you please. I have no idea what I'm doing.
The new quilt is in my "quilts" folder. Duh.

Fantastic! It really is cute - and it really is Petite, isn't it? How big is
it?

How precious, Cindy. I love that quilt. Especially enjoyed your fabric
choices; just purrfect for petite baskets. Polly

It, it ... was a kit, Polly. It looks exactly like it did on the cover of
the Fons & Porter magazine. Which is what I wanted.
I have no talent for making fabric choices. My talent is copying exactly. And that's ok, I'm a hell of a craftsman.

Thank you, Louise. It's 24" X 30". They're 4" blocks.

LOL, Cindy. When I stick my foot in my mouth, I get all the way up to the
knee!
I very well understand no talent for fabric choices. I would so much
love to be able to paint a likeness but it's a gift I just wasn't given.
The Russian Ballet hasn't invited me to audition either. We will enjoy the
talents we have. Yes we will. Polly

Hey, that's okay. That's my talent too; I was gifted with a lot of
patience for tedious
work, and I think that's the most important thing! Besides *enjoying*
it while you're
doing it. That's the #1 thing, no?
(that's why I love fabric that comes in a "series" of bolts that match/
contrast well. I can't
go wrong with them!)
You really *are* a wonderful craftsman. That's a gorgeous quilt.

Oh Cindy, the quilt is just charming and cheerful. I really like the
pieced basket blocks alternating with the applique flower blocks. Great
choice of background fabric in the applique blocks too. I'm just
getting onto be more more daring with fabrics with definite lines, but
they can be so striking.
What size is the quilt?

Oh heck, the craftmanship is the primary thing, isn't it? A person can
pick all the gorgeous colors in the world, but if you can't put them
together it's a moot point. And so we're not even going to talk about
my many attempts at clothes sewing. Harrumph! (Yep, I like sewing flat
things like quilts. ;-)

Hmmm. This quilt may just inspire me to try 4" blocks. The smallest
I've done is 6". Now see what you've gone and done? I've already got a
list of quilts I want to do a mile long! ;-)

Yes, but keep in mind that when you are talking about small quilts, they
(usually) finish faster and take less fabric. I buy mostly fat quarters.
And what are you going to do with 30 bed quilts? Where can you store them? 30 miniature quilts can be stuffed in a drawer!

Good point! Even with the relatively few quilts I have, storage is
beginning to be an issue. :-(
